2018.11.18 Rain showers turning clear Sunday
A father and daughter from Jieyang came, with the daughter mainly accompanying her father to seek treatment from the master.
The elderly father is over eighty years old, and the daughter looks worried, as if she has a great burden on her heart. As soon as they sat down, the daughter began to describe her father’s symptoms.
“My dad has lupus erythematosus, the hospital has diagnosed it, Master, do you have any methods?” Her eyes glistened with tears as she pleaded.
The master said:“Lupus erythematosus is a bone issue, with internal organ deficiency, where the internal Qi is in conflict, leading to immune chaos, like sediment rising! But I tell you, tapping can alleviate it, only internal strengthening can create miracles! Because we have such cases!”
The daughter said:“My dad is currently very weak, even climbing stairs makes him breathless.”
The master said:“Weakness is because your father is afraid of it; if he is not afraid, there will be no problem.”
As he spoke, the master added a combination of Jing San Yao (Three Medicines for the Neck) with Si Jun Zi Tang (Four Gentlemen Decoction) and Si Wu Tang (Four Substance Decoction) combined with three medicines for pain and itching. This is to raise Yang, strengthen the spleen, enhance Qi, nourish blood, invigorate blood circulation, and open the meridians.
The prescription is as follows:
Chai Hu (Bupleurum) 8g, Bai Shao (White Peony) 10g, Zhi Qiao (Bitter Orange) 10g, Zhi Gan Cao (Honey-Fried Licorice) 5g, Ge Gen (Kudzu Root) 25g, Dan Shen (Salvia Root) 20g, Chuan Xiong (Szechuan Lovage) 5g, Dang Shen (Codonopsis) 10g, Chao Bai Zhu (Fried Atractylodes) 10g, Fu Ling (Poria) 10g, Shu Di Huang (Rehmannia) 10g, Dang Gui (Angelica) 5g, Chang Pu (Acorus) 5g, Wei Ling Xian (Clematis) 5g Five doses
“His mood is also poor, always irritable,” the daughter said.
The master then said:“There are two emotions that can torment a person to death: one is anger that loses reason, raging with fury, and the second is fear that causes loss of composure, leading to chaos.Any external illness is easy to treat, but these two types of illness are relatively difficult to treat. I will teach you a few acupoints; you can help the elderly press them when you go back.”
As he spoke, the master pressed three acupoints on the elderly man’s hand, indicating for his daughter to remember.
The master said while pressing:“He Gu (LI4), can swallow all the chaotic things of lupus erythematosus. Because it is the tiger’s mouth, also called the bold point, what can be bolder than the mouth of a tiger?Da Ling (PC8), is the royal tomb, which can bury all the turbid Qi beneath the royal tomb.Nei Guan (PC6), can disperse depression, opening the heart and understanding. At that time, ask the students to help you rub your abdomen, pressing on Zhong Wan (CV12) and other acupoints, which helps to strengthen the spleen and stomach, regulating the central earth.”
The grandfather then spoke:“Right now, I feel very weak, even walking has no strength.”
The master then said:“You will find that all people without strength have a common characteristic: they all walk according to their original straight strength, and their lateral strength has not been developed. Therefore, you should exercise your lateral strength more often, because once a person gets used to straight strength, they rarely use lateral strength.
What is straight strength and lateral strength?
All the meridians in the human body run straight, while the collaterals run horizontally.In TCM, we call them meridians and collaterals; the meridian is the straight diameter; the collateral is the horizontal connection! Like the latitude and longitude of the human body!Generally, we only practice the straight strength of the meridians and do not practice the lateral strength of the collaterals.
For example, you see an old monk with impressive Zen skills; he has practiced his collateral strength. His double lotus position is a horizontal practice of collateral strength! While a kung fu master standing still is practicing vertical strength of the meridians.Without releasing our collateral strength, we have no endurance. In fact, your body already has enough endurance, but it is all bound up, and you need to use methods like tapping to stimulate and release it.”
The master then said to the grandfather:“When you go back today, as long as you tap your two legs until they feel hot, you will have strength tomorrow. As long as your strength is restored, regarding lupus erythematosus, it will depend on medication to fight it later. Remember, just tap both legs. If you really don’t know which acupoint to tap, just tap around there. Because this is the only method you can practice while sitting, which is tapping to cultivate collateral strength.
This kind of strength is difficult for ordinary people to cultivate. Because many people only exercise by walking or kicking legs, these are all straight strength, and they cannot cultivate lateral strength. Therefore, we call this horizontal training of the golden bell cover. Not only do we need to practice the vertical strength of the meridians, but we also need to cultivate the horizontal strength. If we say vertical strength is for the nobility, then horizontal strength is for the common people; although it seems unremarkable, when the people rise up, its power can be seen!”
The master’s confident and determined words instantly moved the father and daughter. They nodded repeatedly in gratitude.
We, on the side, also felt that we gained a lot. It turns out that in our nightly tapping practice, the master continuously guides us to tap diagonally on the chest and ribs, or to tap sideways, which is actually cultivating our collateral strength. This is not only cultivating our liver and gallbladder courage but also cultivating our collateral endurance.
Impressive! Truly impressive!
Comment:
A doctor’s vision should not be too small, shallow, or low! If the eyes only see diseases, it is too narrow. One must encompass the universe, merging with the cosmos! Only then can one understand the principles of nature and use the Dao to practice medicine!
As for clapping, it is not merely to dispel diseases but to bring forth the strength of the meridians, balancing the vertical and horizontal.
The strength of the meridians is the power that traverses the world. People refer to it as the talent that can govern the heavens and earth, which speaks of a person’s strong meridian and collateral strength, soaring!
With meridians and collaterals in the chest, the pen carries the universe!
The earth cannot exist without latitude and longitude, and the strength of the human body’s meridians is indispensable!
The power of the human body has not diminished; it has merely fallen asleep!
Awakening is crucial! The way to awaken is through nature, with the early spring thunder, called the awakening of hibernation. It wakes the snakes, insects, and frogs that have been dormant in the caves, bringing them back to life, shedding the dead weight of lethargy, and becoming vibrant beings of spring and summer!
And the spring thunder is the alarm clock of nature! It is also the harmony of heaven and earth, the thunder and lightning, the wind and rain, all symbolize the unity of the Qi of heaven and earth, also called the clapping of heaven and earth!
This grand symbol of heaven and earth can only be comprehended by extraordinary talents.
If it were made into a movie, it would definitely be spectacular! Thunder and lightning are the heavens preparing for action. At this moment, there is immense energy in the world, capable of awakening all life!
Boom! Crackle!
All evil spirits fear the thunder of heaven!
There is a master who skillfully uses the Five Thunder Palm to treat mental illnesses! It is said that he has practiced this clapping technique for ten years, and countless patients with mental disorders have been cured by his hands!
Never underestimate clapping; if you ignore this great power, you will suffer greatly!
People know that nuclear bombs have great energy, but they do not know that the energy of all thunder and lightning is beyond comparison to many nuclear bombs!
People know that grains nourish people and have energy, but without the refining of clapping, the energy will not be astonishing!
We all seriously underestimate the divine power of tapping!
The power of tapping is as grand as mountains and rivers!
The power of tapping resonates through the clouds!
The power of tapping shakes the earth and mountains!
The power of tapping is swift and fierce!
The power of tapping reaches the heavens and the earth!
